Olabi, a social organization that works to democratize the production of technology by contributing to the construction of a socially more just world, presents Pretalab, a survey that shows that it is urgent to debate representation in the world of innovation. PretaLab is an initiative of Olabi launched in March of 2017 with the focus of stimulating the inclusion of black girls and women and indigenous women in the field of new technology. Made feasible from the support of the Ford Foundation, the initiative emerged as a campaign in search of mapping and understanding who are the black girls and women and indigenous women that work in this area.
The objective of the project is, on one hand, to show how the lack of representation is one problem not only for the fields of technology and innovation but for human rights and freedom of expression. And, on the other hand, to discuss the need and pertinence to include more black women in innovation and technology.
